Yes, @ gottasayit, democrats & informed republicans alike are afraid of Rick Perry & people of his ilk! Please read the posts of Counting Wizard, DDanny1, Christian & others to figure out why! He's not a threat to Obama, gottasayit, his mindset & policies are a threat to this nation, if he became Potus! To those who actually believe he has created jobs in Tx., there is a job freeze on govt. jobs right now! Those who are "taking him apart" are pretty much speaking the truth! If that's the kind of president you want, then God help you!!

Ditto, fernace!! As much as I'd like to get rid of Perry from our governor's office, I don't wish him on the nation. If we thought we were in trouble under GWB, just wait. Perry is MUCH smarter than Bush and that makes him much more dangerous. I personally think he'll get the GOP nomination but then he'll show his true colors and the middle of the road folks will be turned off by him and his extreme ideology, and rightly so.

I live in Texas. I have seen the fire – first hand. It's really really sad. Bastrop is having a hard time getting this fire under control due to the weather/dry conditions. It's hard to imagine a fire that is 20+ miles long!!! Other parts of Texas are having similar issues – east Texas...etc. I am hoping for rain. My heart goes out to the people who have lost EVERYTHING!

If you want to help – please look at websites, such as the red cross. People in Texas always help when there are other disasters! (myself being a Texan who has helped when others needed it)

I haven't been here for a couple days, I guess I shouldn't expect any changes in the personalties that get on this forum. The words needed to describe some of the lowbrows are not allowed, but I have a feeling that their brains must really be fried by the drugs they use. I doubt that if they were to go though a catastrophe of this sort they would be snorting their best while they were suronded by flames and making wise cracks. I don't say this in jest, but it seems that Texas may soon have more wildfires than California ever had, which I thought held the record. Like I've said to friends, in jest, but it is not funny any longer, all we need is a 8.+ earthquake in the east, an other huge hurricane in the south, 10 ft snow storms in the north, a devastating tsunami on the west coast and with the politicans we have in Washington and we just won't have a country left.

Oohh, justathought, "cancel,cancel" as my friend Helen says! Please don't join the prophet in the dooms day predictions! We're strong, determined & can get through this as people did in Joplin, as flood victims have in several states & as natural disaster survivors do, the world over! Also, we're not going to let the totally crazy people in Washington run things, we'll work with the semi-sane(lol)! The US is gonna be OK!! Y'all hear me!?!
